We have several suggestions. #1 We will work with all of those that have signed an Officiant Agreement to reschedule on a mutually acceptable date. #2 We will perform a small 10 persons or less Wedding Ceremony on your original date at a place of your choosing and then at a later date perform a larger Reception Wedding Ceremony for no additional charge.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Recieving a confirming email from the customer detailing thier names, contact information, dates, location times and requirements. If they have questions before sending the confirming email they can contact me by phone. After receiving a confirming email from prospective client confirming their Date(s), Location(s) and Time(s) of Wedding Rehearsal (If attendance is required) and Wedding, we then contact our client and discuss the requirements they are wanting. We then send the client through email an "Officiant Agreement" for them to sign which outlines what we are providing and the agreed upon cost and how they can pay the 20% downpayment for our services in order to lock in our services for the dates requested. After receiving the completed "Officiant Agreement" and the 20% deposit we contact the client and discuss their Wedding Ceremony and provide them with a final draft. This can be done over the phone or by Facetime.
